Classification of cardiac biomarkers


Classification of cardiac biomarkersCardiac biomarkers
1Myocardial injury – Biomarkers of myocardial necrosis CK-MB fraction, myoglobin, cardiac troponins
2Myocardial injury- Biomarkers of myocardial ischemiaIschemia-modified albumin (IMA), heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (H-FABP)
3Biomarkers of hemodynamic stressNatriuretic peptides (NPs): atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP), N-terminal proBNP (NT-proBNP), B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)
4Inflammatory and prognostic markershs C-reactive protein (CRP), sCD40L, homocysteine
